Abstract
Cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD) is rare and characterized by accumulation of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides in many tissues due to the deficiency of lysosomal acid lipase. We report a 3 1/2-year-old child with CESD. The diagnosis was indicated by liver biopsy and confirmed by reduced acid Lipase activity in leukocytes.
